The media are not toys… they can be entrusted only to new artists, because they are art forms.

My work with State Bicycle Co. requires me to design various types of clothing, both cycling-specific performance apparel as well as casual tees and branded accessories. I try to use that opportunity to communicate a visual identity for our bicycle company that emphasizes fun, colorful, youthful exuberance in an industry full of stuffy, self-serious brands. Many of the items featured here are part of larger capsule collections of co-branded accessories with artists like Wu-Tang Clan and Grateful Dead; our way of highlighting all the stuff we think is rad.
